Li Yu spit out a large amount of clear water and finally woke up.

Tang Ning saw him open his eyes and said happily: "Great, you finally woke up." ”

"Where am I?" Li Yu's voice was a little weak, obviously mentally damaged.

Tang Ning smiled: "Don't worry, you have already gone ashore." No water monster can drag you down now. ”

Li Yu nodded, coughed up a puddle of clear water again, and gasped: "What about the person who saved me?" After speaking, his eyes rolled, as if he was looking for something.

Tang Ning pretended to be surprised and said, "Am I not here?" It's a pity that Li Yu's attention is not on him at the moment, otherwise he would have seen through his clumsy acting skills at a glance.

Li Yu looked around and didn't find the person he was thinking, and said with some disappointment: "Could it be that I read it wrong?"

"Of course you're wrong. Tang Ning's face leaned over, pointed to his nose, and said loudly: "Look carefully, remember, your savior is me Tang Ning." ”

Li Yu nodded and shook his head slightly, obviously not completely convinced. But the previous memory was so vague that even he was a little unsure whether it was the person he saw. It stands to reason that it was not so coincidental that it was so easy for him to meet the person he wanted, and if it was really that person who saved him, it would not be a good thing for him.

His psychology is actually not difficult to understand, anyone who almost dies in embarrassment, and is seen and saved by his sweetheart, is a very shameless thing. This made him how to say the word 'protection' to her in the future. Not to mention that he originally planned to go to Luoyang to save her this time.

Tang Ning didn't know about his mental activities, and still complained nagged: "...... I got soaked all over to save you, and the water was so cold that I still shivered. After speaking, he sneezed seriously, rubbed his nose and said, "Can you go? If you can, you can get up and walk by yourself, just now in order to save you, I almost followed the explanation." I really don't have the strength to carry you anymore. ”

After this moment of rest, Li Yu has recovered a lot, although he can't use his internal force yet, but it's still no problem to walk, and he nodded at the moment: "Yes!"

With Tang Ning's support, he slowly stood up, and the two of them walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"Did you really save me?"

"I said that you guy is too unconscionable, I almost lost my life to save you, can I have a fake?"

"But I ...... it"

"It's nothing, go find your men and heal your wounds. Don't you say it's really strange, we made such a big noise, didn't they hear it? What, are you sure they're all masters?"

“......”

The two of them gradually walked away, until the footsteps disappeared, and a masked man came out from behind the tree and said, "They are gone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl's head poked out from behind the tree, and when she saw that there was no trace of the two in the clearing, she limped out and said, "Let's go too!"

At this time, both of them looked a little embarrassed, not only were they drenched, but their clothes were also torn in many places. Tang Zixi is slightly better, but there are some abrasions, which look bloody and scary, but there is no big problem. Su Jing was much more miserable, not only suffered internal injuries, but also had many scorched black holes on his body, especially on his right arm, and even the white bones were exposed. It's just strange that except for the corners of his mouth, there is not a trace of blood on his body.

Su Jing shook his head and said, "Don't worry!" After speaking, he spread out his left hand, revealing a pitch-black bead in the palm of his palm, "This was found in the head of that octopus, although I don't know what it is for, but I can faintly feel that there is a powerful force in it." I can't accompany you for the rest of the journey, you can stay, maybe I can save your life at a critical time. ”

The beads were very black and pure, without a trace of impurities, and when viewed in the moonlight, there seemed to be something faintly flowing inside, which looked extremely mysterious.

As soon as Tang Zixi held it in his hand, he felt a cool air flow drilling into her veins, and quickly walked through her eight meridians, dispelling the exhaustion of her body, as if the whole person was full of strength, and then she understood that the 'powerful power' in the other party's mouth was not a lie.

She hesitated for a while, but handed the bead back, and said, "You should take it, I think you need it more than I do." ”

Su Jing shook his head and said, "This time I disappeared for so long for no reason, presumably Song Yanjun had already brought back the news of my 'death', and Jin Wuwei's commander had long regarded me as a thorn in his side, and he would definitely sit in front of the emperor to confirm this matter, so I must go back to the palace." Otherwise, not only will I not be able to use the power of Qingque to find out the truth of the case, but even all my previous efforts will be in vain. ”

Tang Zixi lowered his eyelids when he heard this, and only after a long time did he speak: "It's me who has caused you." ”

Su Jing's heart was sour, and he sighed: "It has nothing to do with you, this is a struggle between men." Speaking of this, he stopped, stared at the girl in front of him tightly, and said what he wanted to say for a long time, "It's me who should say I'm sorry for not being able to save General Tang and them." Xiaoxi, I'm sorry!" This sentence has been buried in his heart for a long time, and he has never had the courage to say it, but at this moment he can finally say it in front of her, which makes his depressed heart finally find an outlet.

"I know you did your best, and you don't owe me anything, so you don't have to apologize to me. Tang Zixi smiled sadly, her eyes suddenly turned red, but there were no tears falling from her eyes, she raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, "This, maybe this is the fate of our Tang family." ”

"Xiaoxi!"

Su Jing felt a pain in her heart, and stepped forward to touch her hair, but Tang Zixi turned her head slightly, only to hear her continue: "Don't worry, I won't seek death, at least until the truth is found out, I won't!" The last sentence was extremely resolute, and a cold light burst out of his eyes.

Su Jing's hand suddenly froze in mid-air, he looked at this girl who seemed to have grown up overnight, his heart was mixed, and he said after a long time: "I will help you!"

"I know!" Tang Zixi turned to him and smiled, "I need your help too." Then she changed her words, "I was fortunate that you arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable." ”

It turned out that soon after she jumped off the lake, she was also wrapped around her feet and neck by tentacles, she couldn't control her body at all, and flew towards the bottom of the lake faster than Li Yu.

Just when she was frightened, a cold light flashed in front of her, and the tentacles were cut in two, and then a surging true qi came from her back—it was Su Jing who arrived.

Immediately afterwards, Su Jing grabbed her belt and dragged her to swim quickly towards the water.

Who knows, just as they were about to surface, another tentacle reached out, this time not one, but three. He only had time to push Tang Zixi out with one palm, and his feet and right hands were entangled, and the whole person shot back like an arrow.

Tang Zixi was shocked and wanted to go over and grab his hand, but was bumped into by Li Yu, who had just been dragged here, and she was almost knocked out on the spot.

When she looked back again, Su Jing's figure had long since disappeared, but Li Yu's body was just in front of her.

She picked up the long sword that Su Jing had dropped, cut off the tentacles that were wrapped around the opponent's ankles with one sword, and then dragged Li Yu's body to swim desperately. Fortunately, those tentacles did not follow again, and she successfully brought Li Yu out of the water, and after sending him to the shore with Tang Ning's help, she returned to the water.

It was still pitch black in the water, and she couldn't see it clearly. And after a while, her strength was almost exhausted, and she was holding on with a lot of ruthlessness.

Just as she was about to surface again to breathe, a raging wave rushed towards her. She was not surprised, because she felt that there was true qi in this wave, and there was no one else under this water except Su Jing, who else was not him.

Sure enough, as the wave passed by her, a hand suddenly stretched out from it and grabbed her, leading her to the sky. Through the moonlight, she saw clearly the appearance of the person who came, it was Su Jing, and before she could speak, she was thrown out directly by the other party.

She was in mid-air, dumbfounded as she watched the big octopus rising from the water immediately afterward. Although I was mentally prepared, the moment I saw it, I was still frightened by the unusually large size of the octopus. I was afraid for a while, if Su Jing didn't arrive in time, she would have her life. I can't help but regret my previous recklessness.

Tang Ning, who was patting Li Yu on the shore, heard the movement, turned his head and saw the unbelievable scene in front of him, and opened his mouth in shock, even forgetting Li Yu, who was unconscious on the side.

At this time, only two tentacles of the octopus were still intact, and the rest were either only half cut off, or they were cut off by the roots, and the wound was still dripping blood, and it looked at the enemy in front of it and let out a sharp hiss.

Su Jing let out a cold snort, not only did he not run away, but instead turned his head flexibly in mid-air and rushed towards the giant octopus. Because he knew in his heart that if he turned around and ran away now, not only would he not be able to escape, but he would put himself in a passive situation, and it would be better to give it a fight than this.

The octopus immediately waved its tentacles, trying to catch the enemy and drag him into the water.

How could Su Jing let it succeed, at the moment when his tentacles reached his body, his body suddenly shook slightly, and his outstretched fist smashed it fiercely. The thick tentacles were immediately retracted by the heavy punch, and the octopus hissed in pain.

He took this opportunity to grab another tentacle, and just when the two on the shore thought that he was going to smash it with a punch, an accident happened, and the octopus's round head suddenly cracked, and a stinking black juice spurted out of it, and the target was Su Jing, who was in mid-air.

"Be careful!" Tang Zixi was shocked when he saw this, and was about to jump into the lake to help as soon as his body moved, but was pulled by Tang Ning.

Ignoring her gaze of wanting to eat people, Tang Ning stubbornly said: "You can't go!" He was purely kind, at this moment, the battle in the lake was at a critical juncture, and with Tang Zixi's martial arts in the past, even if it passed, it would not help at all, maybe it would become a burden.

Tang Zixi didn't care so much, glared at him fiercely, suddenly stepped on his feet, and jumped into the big lake with Su Jing's long sword in the other party's painful cry.

"You come back for me!" Tang Ning shouted holding his almost crushed foot.

Tang Zixi turned a deaf ear and still struggled to swim forward. After swimming for a while, she suddenly stopped, and just when Tang Ning thought she was going to turn back, her hand holding the sword stretched out of the water and bit the sword in her mouth, so that the speed was really much faster, and she soon swam near the battle group.
